After having found it on the mysterious planet Crux, the greedy tycoon of the expedition, Baron Typhonus, was pulled into the source, fusing with it to create a maelstrom of chaotic dark energy. The premise is that years ago, a team of four minifigures went on a great journey to seek the last essence of pure Imagination: Doctor Overbuild, Duke Exeter, Hael Storm, and Baron Typhonus. But there's still time for them to build on what they already have a cracking good start.Lego Universe took place in an alternate universe populated by Lego minifigures. There are still questions of course: NetDevil is being cagey about the inclusion of MMO tropes like player economies and raiding parties. It's slick, clean presentation is unlike anything else out there, and all signs point to an extremely polished title. LEGO Universe has a great deal of potential as the game that could bridge the gap between Club Penguin and World of Warcraft. But let's just say that fans of seventies Space LEGO are in for a treat. NetDevil has already enlisted a team of expert LEGO builders, who have been busy creating some exceptionally cool-sounding non-game areas for players to explore, including well, we swore we wouldn't tell. "We don't want people suddenly plonking huge castles in the middle of our carefully designed areas," he says. While Seabury hints that some objects will be transferable between the private spaces and the game space, the two will remain largely separate.
LEGO UNIVERSE 2 COM PATCH
Your patch of land can be expanded by completing certain missions, and NetDevil has already stated that it won't be charging extra for larger chunks of land, preferring to keep everything included in the basic subscription. This disintegrating spaceship furnishes the game's opening. Communication freedom can be tweaked by parents, and NetDevil is confident that these tools will minimise any potential risk to children.
LEGO UNIVERSE 2 COM SERIES
While you will be able to show off your creations to the public, all models will have to be vetted first, using a complex series of algorithms and human moderation. All MMORPGs suffer from a lack of content in the early days, and these Second Life-style building areas may go some way to extending the game's longevity during this teething period. NetDevil has modelled well over 2000 unique bricks, which is a lot when you consider that from six identical eight-studded LEGO bricks you can get 915,103,765 possible combinations. If it all gets too much, you can always retreat to your own patch of land and build to your heart's content. Much of the laughter is generated by the incongruity of some of the weapons - one character who looked suspiciously like Anchorman Ron Burgundy brandished a fish on a stick menacingly. We liked the Pirates who had an anchor for one arm and a cannon for the other, firing the anchor into the ground to steady themselves from the cannon's recoil. Plenty of effort has gone into the baddies too. This bridge is an example of LEGO Universe's brick-building, problem-solving challenges. Environments feel extremely interactive: organs can be played, pirate cannons launch shooting gallery mini-games, and binoculars can be used to spy out hidden areas. Extinguish a flaming Tiki head for example, and the it will spit the water back in your face.
LEGO UNIVERSE 2 COM FULL
The action is chaotically exciting, and the silent pantomime humour now synonymous with the LEGO titles is in full effect. You can even mix and match animal parts to create your own deadly Croco-lion mash-ups. Pets can dig up buried treasure chests, step on switches, and ward off enemies, as Seabury demonstrates by gifting a banana to a gun-toting monkey, just in time for it to deal with a bunch of scurvy-riddled zombie pirates. Animals like dogs, elephants and buffaloes are all trainable, and can be summoned from your backpack once trained. In the last, pirate-infested area we see, the spooky Gnarled Forest, we get a glimpse of the pets system. Like the Zelda games, it will make exploration less about juicing your stat porn, and more about, well, exploring. There are no RPG levels as such, and progress is instead marked by your health and items. Interestingly, the game's levelling system is less WOW and more Zelda. Completed missions can be replayed as racecourses, with completion times being recorded on searchable leaderboards. "We want to offer multiple paths through every mission," says Seabury. You can build switches to stop them, build around them, or break through walls to avoid them completely. An early mission sees you navigating your way to the top of a mountain while being pushed back by a series of fans. In addition to fighting, missions include plenty of building too, and some impressive physics.
